Both Tagalog (Filipino) and Maori belong different branches of the Austronesian language family (Austronesian>Malayo-Polynesian>Philippine>Central Philippine>Tagalog, Austronesian>Malay-Polynesian>Oceanic>Polynesian>East Polynesian>Tahitic>Maori-Moriori>Maori). As they are distantly related, they are not mutually intelligible, meaning speakers of each others languages cannot understand or communicate with each other using their respective languages. Words demonstrating this relatedness are limited, however examples, include the numbers five and eight (lima and walo in Tagalog, rima and waru in Maori) and the verb to drink (inom in Tagalog, inu in Maori, both from the Malayo-Polynesian *inumia).
